The intensive artillery fire fell, and the little Japanese who was about to charge was immediately stunned.

In the trenches, the soldiers of the 67th Army who had been prepared for a long time also took out their weapons and started to fight back.

In order to enhance defense as much as possible and take advantage of firepower, every infantry platoon on the front line has been equipped with at least one light and heavy machine gun.

Moreover, all the soldiers on the front line have also been replaced with the Little Japanese's 38-inch cap. On average, each person has thirty or forty rounds of ammunition. The ammunition is sufficient, and the firepower is no weaker than that of the Little Japanese.

The charging Jaap was blocked by artillery fire, allowing the soldiers of the 67th Army on the position to calmly set up their weapons to counterattack, set up machine gun fire, and began to attack.

However, they are all elite infantrymen who are not so easy to deal with. They alternately cover and shoot forward. With the cover of night, the grenades of the Japs also start to get busy, preparing to take out the machine gun fire points in the front position.

This is one of the constant tricks of the little devils. They attract enemy firepower and use grenades or mortars to destroy it. If they encounter solid cement fortifications, they use field artillery to take charge.

It's just that the firepower of both sides has been adjusted now. Here in the 67th Army, all the grassroots commanders have been specially instructed. Once the Japs' attacks are rhythmic, they must be disrupted. Be especially careful with the Japs' throws. cartridge.

The grenadiers of the Little Japanese Permanent Division are very lethal. When firing a grenade with one hand, they almost hit wherever they point, which is quite terrifying.

Often when the National Army is fighting with the Japs, the light and heavy machine guns on the National Army's side will be quickly destroyed by the Japs' grenades, and then the defense line will be quickly breached.

But this time, the situation is completely different. The Sixty-seventh Army has greatly increased its firepower from light and heavy machine guns to mortars.

Between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, in the dug mortar position, mortars began to fire one after another.

The attacking squadron of Japanese soldiers found intensive firepower in just a moment. At the same time, the small-caliber artillery in Songjiang also provided continuous firepower support. The infantry squadron that was preparing to attack was directly stunned.

Each little devil could only lie on the ground, smell the smell of the earth, and then listen to the intensive sound of machine gunfire and explosions, praying that he would not die.

On the other side, some of the artillery of the 18th Division was taken away, and the firepower of the heavy artillery unit also began to pour towards the Kunisaki Nobori detachment to the east. The first target of the attack was the artillery brigade of the Kunisaki Nobori detachment.

With a 155mm howitzer with a range of fifteen kilometers, and Ye Qing's guidance, any Japanese artillery that attacks Songjiang is within striking range.

Under the precise bombardment, although the artillery shells were not very accurate, they still brought a devastating blow to the artillery of the Kunizaki Detachment.

After killing the large-scale artillery of the Japs, the next step was free shooting. The twenty heavy artillery pieces were divided into three groups and launched bombardments at the Japs in three directions: southeast, west and south.

This time it was the children's turn to be bombed, and what fell on their heads was a large-caliber howitzer. One shot would kill them within a radius of fifty meters.

At this time, Ye Qing also ended his simple instructions. Without the Japs under the cover of artillery, tonight's attack would not pose a great threat to the 67th Army.

It just made Ye Qing a little depressed. He directed the artillery fire of the 67th Army and killed many little Japs, but these had nothing to do with him. The murderous explosive system did not respond at all.

But tonight's show is far more than that. Tonight, he wants to eliminate the little devil's vitality as much as possible.

Otherwise, during the day, given the current situation of the Japs in Songjiang, aviation troops will definitely come to support after dawn. Although Ye Qing also gave the 67th Army some anti-aircraft weapons, the artillery will not be used as casually as at night.

Moreover, on the personal terminal, the Little Japanese radio signals are quite dense. There are many deciphered messages, almost all of which are communication messages from the 18th Division, the 6th Division, the Kunisaki Detachment, and the dispatched military headquarters to Shanghai. tactical guidance message.

There are also a large number of telegrams from these three troops condemning the Japanese Mei Agency and Tekong. The firepower of the national army in Songjiang is too fierce, which is very different from the situation in the report. The three troops all require fire support as soon as possible. The daytime attack, There must also be enough aviation support.

It's just that at this time, the Shanghai dispatched troops did not have sufficient aviation support. Although the national army was retreating, not all of them had withdrawn. There were still some blocking troops who were still holding the line of defense.

The Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters, which was originally engaged in a flanking attack, could only order the troops on the Songhu front line to launch another attack.

There were not many aviation forces in Songhu to begin with, but they lost two more aircraft carriers and lost dozens of aircraft. The huge Songhu was full of battlefields, and now there were only more than 200 usable aircraft, which was a lot.

Artillery support requires time. It takes time to transfer the artillery to Hangzhou Bay, then transport it to the shore, and then deliver it to the hands of the three troops. It is impossible to reach the battlefield in a short time.

Faced with the tactical guidance of the three troops, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Matsui Iwane, was also very straightforward. He asked the three troops to give full play to their own strength advantages and must capture Songjiang by tomorrow at the latest, cooperate with the main forces on the front line, and cut off the national army. retreat.

In the words of Matsui Iwane, if artillery support is required, isn’t the Sixty-seventh Army very powerful? Just turn those cannons into Imperial ones.
